I decided to experiment with Mordekaiser after the changes from last patch took place, and, well... turns out he's still a pretty decent midlaner.

Sure, most of the early game was spent running away from the other team's Yasuo and using Flash to jump to the turret as fast as possible when their Yi decided to join the chase as well, but once I was able to grab my first big item, I was able to start effectively pushing the lane. Of course, I had a lot of help from Teemo spreading mushrooms everywhere and GP and Quinn shooting everything in sight.

Anyway, the end result of my build resulted in Morde being a wall of HP and AP that could regenerate over 25 HP a second when out of battle, which kinda made up for his lack of defenses.
